A perfect weekend for Meeusen

17/02/2014

Tom Meeusen has had a perfect weekend. On Saturday, he won the final round of the Superprestige in Middelkerke, and on Sunday he won the CX race in Eeklo.

In Middelkerke, Meeusen had a very fast start. He was able to break away with Van der Haar, Pauwels, and Van Amerongen. The pace in the breakaway group was not fast enough for Meeusen, so he decided to attack. Pauwels was the only rider who could follow, but not for long. Meeusen finished solo, Pauwels 2nd, and Nys 3rd. Nys took the overall victory in the Superprestige away from Albert, who only finished on place 7.

In Eeklo, the race was decided in the sprint. Meeusen proved once again that he is a very explosive rider by sprinting to victory against youngsters Vanthourenhout and Van Aert. With 2 Telenet-Fidea riders, and one of Sunweb-Napoleon Games, the whole podium was on a Ridley X-Night.
